Possible to do project specific run/debug configurations templates?

Hi,

I work on multiple React apps that have different Jest package locations (for example, some projects use /node_modules/react-scripts, and others use /node_modules/@craco/craco.) Is there a way to create run/debug configuration templates per project? If I update the Jest template to point to either react-scripts or craco, that means half my projects' configs won't work unless I manually fix the Jest package for each one.

If per-project config templates aren't possible, how else can I set the Jest package per project?

Changes in run configuration template are saved per project, in .idea/workspace.xml.

Note that in the upcoming WebStorm 2020.3 it will be possible to store run configuration templates as xml files in .idea/runConfigurations/ folder or in any folder within project content roots, see https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-65915#focus=Comments-27-4403191.0-0

Thanks Elena. I'm using WebStorm 2020.2.3 and it appears that if multiple projects are attached within the same window the Jest template is shared between them all. For example, I start work on Project A and change the Jest template, then work on Project B and change the template again, new configurations for Project A will use the changes made from Project B.

Opening projects in new windows does not seem to have the same issue.

this is a known limitation unfortunately - attached projects are not treated as separate projects actually, attaching a project is more or less equal to adding one more content root to the main project - so the IDE behaves as if there is a single project opened, not multiple ones.
Please follow the tickets linked to https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WEB-7968 for updates

Sorry for the necro but I've spent the better part of the last three hours dorking around with this. I finally realized that setting the root folder for the project as the test sources directory will resolve the issue and figured I would leave that tidbit here in posterity for the next person.

Right Click on Project Root Folder > Mark Directory As > Test Sources
